Cleancoating has claimed that the company’s XTI-360 Active-Shield nanocoating provides the most efficient protection against viruses, harmful MRSA and E. coli bacteria, and other microbes such as noroviruses and hard-to-destroy contagious germs found on surfaces of schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, cruise ships and other semi-closed environments.

The XTI-360 Active-Shield nanocoating demonstrates a 99.999% of germ-killing power, which has been verified by SGS through tests on coated materials such as fabrics, ABS-plastic and ceramic. It is a binder-free solution containing 1% of titanium-dioxide nanoparticles and 99% of ultra-pure water.

International Self-Powered Building Council certified the XTI-360 Active-Shield nanocoating, a green building nanocoating technology. It also offers powerful protection against VOCs on interior surfaces, including linens, tiles, air-ducts&filters, furniture, curtains, carpets, ceilings and walls. According to Cleancoating, the XTI-360 is the only 100% green coating and is harmless to consumers.
